That’s just it; the Pilgrims were religious fanatics seeking to establish a theocratic state. When they couldn’t do that back in Merry Old England, they ran off to Holland and out of fear of not being able to maintain their strictly sectarian identity, decided to go the New World instead where they’d be essentially unchallenged.

In Mrs. Fish’s argument with her hyper-wingnut relative last night, the lady tried to claim that the Pilgrims founded this country as a Christian nation. I reminded Mrs. Fish to point out that the first North American immigrants weren’t the Pilgrims, they were business people who settled in Virginia.
